Oh great, Nicole's resorted to posting shirtless pictures of men younger, fitter, and more handsome than I. Plus he doesn't have a gym tan.
Let's see how long it takes the ladies to start commenting on this one.

I have a question, mostly for the trainers. i've been workout out pretty steadily every other day, so today I'm planning on workout out, but I'm also planning on coming in tomorrow morning. so if i'm not going to work out til 4:30 or 5 today, i'm worried about recovery time for saturday. also, i'm not sure weather to do wednesday's or today's w.o.d. I only did one of the 20 minute workouts this week, so wednesday's would make it 2. plus, weighted pullups might be difficult for me in my aparment, but i might be able to figure something out. thanks.

Jonathan,
I think intermittent deviations from set workout patterns are great. So in other words, I don't see any problem with the short turnaround time for this one time. Now if you were to continually work without ample recovery, that's another thing entirely.
But if you get enough rest tonight and only do 1 workout today (don't try and cram 2 workouts in to make up for lost time--it doesn't work), you should be fine.
And if the workout tomorrow is hairy, you can do the weighted pull-ups tomorrow, which can be taxing, but usually only on a local muscular level and not in a systemic way like the metcons.

Jonathan:
After tonight's workout, a recovery drink with about 15g protein and 60g carbs will help you feel less sore for tomorrow.

Leo, does beer with a scoop of protein powder count? just kidding, that's disgusting. why would I ruin a perfectly good beer like that :)
good job on the w.o.d.
thanks, guys.

The trick is to put the protein into your fourth or fifth beer, by which point you won't be sober enough to know the difference.

yeah, crossfit will be real fun the next morning, too.
